Confessions

Well I liked Ann and Jenny's blog of their confessions and so I thought Id add to that by sharing mine. Don't we all have them?? Maybe some of us have it worse than others, and maybe there are those rare ones out there that don't have any?? If you are one of those, please leave a comment on how you have that perfectly clean house and yet raise children:) Id love to know your secret!!!

Here is the pile of laundry that is cleaned and waiting to be folded. Its been there for 24 hours!!! Thankfully its only whites which are mostly socks and towels which dont' mind if they are wrinkled:) Im pretty notorious for a left over "last load" forget abouts. Meaning, I do well with getting most of the laundry upstairs and folded and put away, but there is always that white load I tend to forget about and may even leave in the dryer the whole week until I open up the dryer to put in the following weeks wash and viola "there are clothes in the dryer". Opps. This is our bathroom...I know, it looks like its just MY bathroom. I am once again leaving it look this way more often than not. I mean, whats the use of putting it all away just to get it out again the next morning?? Poor nick has no room for his toothbrush and deoderant:) (what else does a guy have to clog up the bathroom counters?)Oh and now we have Elijah's room. He is really into playmobil. Im thankful he found something he can enjoy, but wow...all those little pieces(and you think lego's are bad??) This stuff is so tiny that I dont' even see it when sweeping sometimes and opps...there goes another piece. I do not make Elijah clean this up everynight since it stays in his room....but I do close the door often so I don't have to look at it.Last but not least....the toy room(bonus room). This is where we spend the majority of our family time (minus the kitchen) and you will notice that this is a "clean" picture. Thats right....this is the only room besides the kitchen that if it is not clean before bed I can hardly sleep. I make the boys clean this nearly everynight. I have let it go a night or two, but for the majority this is the room that MUST be cleaned before bed, before snack, before baths, before anything. In fact it will be the middle of the day and I walk into this room and it will be a disaster...like a tornado went thru. I immediately make the kids clean up everything except the one item they are currently playing with. I know, call me mean, but thats how much the mess can bother me in this room.

So anyway, there you have my confessions. Sure hope you enjoy and share a few of your own so I don't have to feel like such a pathetic mom:)
